Toys

This morning Ross has been sick, the vomit contained plastic and grass and something that looks like a rubber stopper. It was seriously large to think he had swallowed it and brought it up again. (A bit like the cork from a bottle of wine in size and shape, though hollow) Hopefully the grass gave the sharp bits of plastic a smoother transaction back up! (Yeuk) Seriously this young lads eating habits are a worry though. Not since Dexi and Kiri have we had dogs that eat everything.  Dexi even managed a whole kong once, there was just the tip left when I found him eating it. But it was Kiri that got herself in trouble and needed emergency surgery to remove a blockage of plastic from her intestine! Of course we also know how poorly our friend Noya became after eating a bit of rope toy.
I'm use to dogs who shred toys, it happens regularly here but Ross sits down and eats them .. just like Dexi use too. It's getting really hard to find toys that they all like that he won't eat, the chuck it balls do well, and the one Loki had as a pup is still played with and in one piece. All the lovely Xmas stuff that their Auntie Linda got them was shredded, to be honest non of the soft toys made it past 11am on Xmas day! It is disappointing as you do think some of them just like to squeak them, others are far more set on destruction!  I guess another trip back to TK Maxx is on the cards in the New Year!
